New Photos From today and Bump Stop Clearance.
I got some new photos from the wash yesterday. I am also about to go put 5% on the front windows today.
Also I have an issues with my rear bump stop clearance. I only have a 1/2" with the pro kit.
Here is the loney front end
Here is the FRONT END i'll be switching too soon. (sorry about the confusion that's my bad.)

When I installed my H&R Super Sport Springs the directions instructed me to cut 1/4" off my rear bumpstops. I have yet to bottom out with mine. I have never heard of this issue without using springs that provide a aggressive drop.
Do you ever bottom out? If so you might need to cut some off of the bumpstops.
Did you spray paint your taillights? They look good.

Let me clear up some confusion, I meant to say I am switching to that front end. Sorry guys. I wish I could buy that car!
I painted my rear badge with regular black gloss spray paint and some clear laquer spray paint too I believe. I just scuffed it up with some 1500 gritt or so and cleaned it very very well and then gave her the spray. Their is no imperfections in it, I need to get some redfire touch up paint im going to paint inside the indented ford part with the body color. Give it a little pop.
See above reply, I painted it.
+1 for Redfire. However I wish I had your car wow that looks killer!!
I sprayed them with 3 coats vht nightshades and 3 coats clear laquer. A lot of wetsanding and buffing.
Also I cut the bump stop in half as you can see in the picture. I think it may have something to do with the 60sq ft of Second Skin Damplifier in the trunk. (similar to dynmat but better)
